Lists are sequences used by Perl. They are very short lived, seldom

The way I've always liked to explain this is that arrays are the
containers you use to store a list.
As Shawn says, a list is usually pretty ephemeral -- but if you want
it to stick around, you can put it in an array variable.
to be a little more exact, lists live only in expressions and are on the
stack. arrays can live between statements and are allocated from the heap.
also the names of those variables are confusing. artificial array?
